Hanover-area man, 82, dies days after North Codorus crash

An 82-year-old Hanover-area man died Tuesday night at York Hospital after sustaining injuries in a North Codorus Township crash on Saturday, the York County Coroner's Office confirmed.

Richard Fissel, of the 3000 block of Grandview Road in Penn Township, was transported to the hospital following the two-vehicle crash that occurred around 4 p.m. at the intersection of Salem Road and Old Joseph Road.

The coroner's office said it was likely Fissel experienced a medical event just before the crash, which led him to travel into the path of an oncoming vehicle.

All other passengers involved survived, including a passenger in Fissel's car. No further information was available about passengers in the second car.

On Tuesday, Deputy Coroner Jeffi L. Goodfellow was dispatched to the hospital at 6:10 p.m. to certify Fissel's death. His cause of death is multiple blunt force trauma.

There will be no autopsy. Southwestern Regional Police Department is investigating.
